I graduated from Clarkson 25 years ago and have a Clarkson, t-shirt, hat, golf shirt and sweatshirt that I wear whenever the mood strikes. I am also a fan of UNC and Notre Dame and have several items with their names and logos on them. I also support local sports and have Siena and U Albany sweatshirts. As far as wearing someone else’s products on another campus – in college my girlfriend wore my Clarkson sweatshirt all the time at Plattsbugh State. Big deal. Wear what feels right to you. Alumni junk is just a scam for selling something you something you don’t need. Is it wrong for a parent to wear a t-shirt with the name of a school their kids are going to? I think not. Don’t overanalyze the situation. Just wear your IC stuff proudly.

While many alumni associations distribute or sell T-shirts and sweatshirts with the alumni name on them, it is not necessary to distinguish who is a student and who is an alumnus/ae.

Furthermore, University is not only a set of buildings that you spend four years of your life in. It is a continuum of scholarship and community of which you become not just a participant, but also a steward. You do not just attend for a time and then leave it behind. You take it with you wherever you go.

Wipe off that stain and represent your school. Proudly.

Tailgate Saturdays are filled with scarlet and grey as far as the eye can see, but as long as it’s go the Block O, no one really cares?

Other than that, you can wear any IC clothing you wish whenever you wish. I think the college marketing office would back me up on this.

BTW, I went to a crappy state college in the South. My ex-missus went to a swanky Seven Sisters school. I got her heavy hoodie in the split, and nobody ever asks me if I went there, etc. Nobody cares, really. But it is an awesomely comfy hoodie so I keep wearing it.

It’s a source of pride and shame because it still fits but always makes me look like a major nerd.
